Subject: Bug with Backgammon.

Hello,
 Read the article in Wired. I did some simulated annealing and genetic
algorithms in college and found the article interesting stuff. Good
luck. 

However, I found a bug during one of my games of Backgammon. The last
move before I should have won the game, when I tried to bear off my last
piece (on bar 2, with dice of 1 and 4), it would not accept either move
I entered (2 0 or 2 1).

I couldn't find a nice way to attach a screen print of the game (and I
didn't know if you were able to track games without a game-id), so I
saved the HTML file off and attached it here.

See you,
Dave Myers
